991104 report

Inclinometry - v. little change


SUMMARY
CW Inclinometry was taken during the evening 04 Nov 1999. There are minimal changes in the track model since the last run on 29 Oct .


   Datasets     HST start      mean leg temperatures   Humidity
                               start   middle   end       %
 ( inc991029 cw   10:55         4.2     5.2     6.2      20 )
   inc991104 cw   18:15         4.7     4.4     4.2      50

The differences between these clockwise models is shown below :

  • The differences in the (F1,F2,F3) have rms scatters of (0.34", 0.28", 0.31") cf (0.88", 0.23", 0.49") previously.

  • A new track model (using temperature corrections and a yaw factor of 1.00 - see the work of 990923) was installed at 09:40 HST on 19991105.

  • The symmetry remains good : see the plot .
